Katrina's hit

Hurricane Katrina is currently hitting South Florida.

Katrina's eye landed in the borderline of Miami-Dade and Broward counties, moving west at 6 mph.

This is the closest hurricane I've been to, and thanks God it's only a category 1, with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph.

Hidden ball trick, revealed

Todd Jones relates with his own words how the hidden ball trick was successfully executed by Mike Lowell and himself.

Definitively, this is one of the best plays I've ever seen, and it's very interesting to learn, from first hand, how it exactly happened.

So I'm behind the mound. I grab the rosin bag; that's something I can do. Then I get the bright idea to make hand gestures to the catcher, like where I'm going to throw it once I get the ball hit back to me. Then I turn to Alex Gonzalez, our shortstop, as if to tell him, hey, if it's hit to me, I'm throwing it to you to start the double play. After I've done all that, the guy is still not off the base.

Now what do I do? Just at that time he steps off the base and, boom, Mikey tags him. It was perfect. The manager came out to argue, but there was nothing he could say. We pulled a fast one.

Way to go Marlins... but now try to make a better trick, win the wild card.

Call them, they won't call you.

This is a well kept secret that would lower your BellSouth DSL bill.

For new BellSouth DSL customers, the telephone company is automatically offering up to a $10 monthly average reduction in the price of high-speed Internet access service.

But existing BellSouth customers will have to take the initiative and make a call themselves if they want the savings.

''Technically, it is for new customers,'' said Nadine Randall, a BellSouth spokeswoman in Atlanta. ''Only if existing customers call in and choose to have the new pricing'' will the difference apply.

She noted, however, that a number of customers already have the lower price included in their plans.

Randall said that BellSouth decided to simplify its 21 existing prices for DSL services, which varied depending on other services chosen by the customer.

''Now there is only one price for each speed regardless of what services the customers buy,'' Randall said.

In theory, you have no longer be required to buy a bundle of products to get a lower DSL price, as they forced many people to do. I know people who bought their pricey Complete Choice local calls plan, the expensive Long Distance plan, a Cingular cell phone plan and even DirecTV with them, only to get an insignificant $10 discount in their DSL bill. :-(

If you have BellSouth as your DSL provider, just call them and save money.

BellSouth's number for the service is 1-888-321-ADSL (2375).
